I give this example as someone living in a booming area but has to commute out of the city for work. And I've tried public transit and it makes my commute about 3x as long. That said, I wish I didn't have to commute...but it is what it is. Philly lacks jobs in many areas and so the burbs are the only choice.

That's all true. But you still don't need more than 2 spots for every household right next to a train station. That's just ridiculous.
